The Artistpreneur Series: Handlin’ Biz

It’s no secret to people close to me that I have lusted towards entrepreneurship for some time.

In my mind, to work for oneself is one of the ultimate expressions of freedom. No boss. No set schedule. You get out what you put in.

I read something recently that inspired the idea for the Artistpreneur Series. The article included the best pieces of advice the founders of some of today’s biggest products and companies had ever received. I thought that was a pretty valuable piece of content. So much so that I worked it into my questioning.

So Here’s the Deal:

I’ve made some personal/business connections with some pretty remarkable people. A few of them liked me well enough to reply to a brief questionnaire about Travel, Work and Life. The initial group of features will include: artists, restauranteurs, musicians and leaders of small empires.

Some of these people work for themselves 100% of the time, some of them hold down 9-5 jobs as well as a side business. Some are sole proprietors and others command a small army. All of them are comprised of at least one part creativity, one part devotion and one part gunslinger.

Artistpreneur (Part 1) will release later this week, so stay tuned and thanks for reading.
